Did Joe Biden advise his \u200dson to defy a congressional subpoena? The House Oversight\u2064 and Judiciary Committee chairs are determined\u200c to find out as part \u200dof their \u2062impeachment inquiry. If\u2063 there\u2062 is evidence \u200cthat the president colluded with Hunter Biden\u2064 to obstruct the investigation, Joe Biden could be charged with \u200ca crime.\u200d The irony is that Donald Trump is \u200bcurrently facing criminal\u2062 charges<\/a> of obstruction\u2064 of \u200cjustice, even though\u200c he did\u2063 nothing to prevent evidence \u2064or witnesses from \u2062reaching Congress. <\/p>\n

Last Wednesday, Rep. James\u2063 Comer, \u2062the chair of the House Oversight\u2062 and Accountability Committee, \u2062and Rep. Jim Jordan, the Judiciary Committee Chair, sent a \u2062 letter<\/a> \u2062to the White House\u200d counsel\u200b regarding the\u2062 president’s alleged \u200dcommunications with his son about defying \u200ba\u2064 congressional subpoena. According to the letter, Hunter Biden was \u200dsubpoenaed\u200b to appear for a\u200b deposition on December 13, 2023,\u2063 as part of the impeachment inquiry. However, instead of appearing for the \u200bdeposition, Hunter\u2063 Biden held a press conference at \u200dthe U.S. Capitol \u200bon the same\u200c day.<\/p>\n

Later that day, White\u2063 House Press Secretary \u2063Karine Jean-Pierre stated that President Biden \u2064was\u200c “certainly familiar with what his son\u200c was going \u200cto say” \u2064when asked if \u2063he had watched Hunter’s press conference. This statement raised suspicions that the President had prior knowledge of Hunter Biden’s decision \u2063to defy the congressional\u2062 subpoenas. <\/p>\n

The letter from Comer and\u2063 Jordan expressed the need to\u2062 investigate the President’s involvement\u2063 in his \u2064son’s refusal to comply with the subpoenas. They cited two \u2064 federal criminal statutes<\/a>, 18 U.S.C. \u00a7 1505 and \u206418 \u2063U.S.C. \u00a7\u200b 2(a),\u200b that President Biden may have\u200d violated. Section 1505 criminalizes “Obstruction of Justice” \u200dand imposes penalties for anyone \u200cwho attempts to obstruct a congressional investigation. Section 2(a) establishes criminal liability \u200dfor individuals who aid,\u2064 abet, counsel,\u200b command, induce, or procure the\u200b commission of a crime.<\/p>\n

Based on the press secretary’<\/a>s\u2064 statement, Comer and\u200d Jordan requested any documents\u2062 or communications between \u2062the Executive Office \u2064of the \u200cPresident and \u2063Hunter Biden’s legal team\u2064 regarding the deposition. \u200bHowever, it is unlikely that the White House will comply with this\u200d request. If questioned about his discussions with Hunter regarding the subpoena, \u2062President Biden will likely \u200bdeny any\u200d involvement, just\u2064 as he denied discussing Hunter Biden’s business dealings.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, evidence continues to mount that\u200d Joe Biden not only spoke with Hunter about his\u2062 business dealings, but also \u2062had regular communication\u2064 with his son’s \u2064business partners and met \u2062with foreign \u2063individuals who paid Hunter millions of dollars. This raises concerns\u200c of bribery and \u2063the selling of influence, \u2064which \u2062overshadow the potential\u2063 charge of obstruction of justice. The House’s\u200c latest \u2063move\u2062 reveals a\u200c delicious irony: if \u200cJoe Biden colluded with\u200c his son to defy the congressional subpoena, he \u200dwould be guilty of obstruction of justice, \u200cwhile Trump\u2062 faces obstruction charges for conduct that may not even qualify as a crime.<\/p>\n

As explained in detail at The \u2064Federalist, Special Counsel Jack Smith charged \u200bTrump with violating \u2062two subsections of \u00a7 1512(c)\u2062 for his actions on January 6,\u2063 2021. However, this interpretation of the law ignores the fact that \u00a7 1512(c) only criminalizes \u2063conduct that impairs the availability of\u2062 evidence for an official proceeding. The\u200b Supreme Court is \u2064likely to rule that \u200dTrump’s actions on that day did not meet the\u200b criteria for obstruction of justice. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In contrast, if Joe Biden collaborated with Hunter to ignore the congressional subpoena, he would \u200dbe engaging in\u200b conduct that qualifies as obstruction of justice. The \u2062Biden administration’s \u2062charges against Trump for\u2062 obstruction of justice \u200dseem baseless in comparison. The level of \u2062hypocrisy\u2064 displayed\u200b by this administration is both amusing \u200cand detrimental to our\u2062 country.<\/p>\n

What federal criminal statutes may President Joe \u2063Biden have potentially violated in relation to his son’s defiance of\u200b a congressional subpoena?<\/h2>\n
Title: Investigation Into Joe Biden’s Alleged Involvement in Son’s Defiance of Congressional\u2064 Subpoena<\/p>\n
Introduction:<\/p>\n
The House Oversight and \u200dJudiciary Committee chairs are initiating an investigation into whether President Joe Biden\u2063 advised his son, Hunter Biden, \u200dto defy a congressional subpoena. This development \u2062comes as part\u200b of the ongoing impeachment inquiry\u200b into the President. If evidence\u2062 surfaces indicating collusion between the President and his son to obstruct the investigation, Joe Biden himself could face criminal charges<\/a>. Interestingly, this investigation occurs against the backdrop of Donald Trump’s own\u2062 criminal charges of\u200c obstruction of justice, despite him having taken no action\u2063 to impede\u200d evidence or witness \u200dtestimony from reaching Congress.<\/p>\n
The Congressional Inquiry:<\/p>\n
Last Wednesday, Rep. James Comer, the chair of \u2062the House Oversight and Accountability\u200c Committee, \u2064and Rep. Jim Jordan, the Judiciary\u200d Committee Chair, penned a letter to \u200cthe\u2062 White House Counsel seeking clarification on the President’s alleged \u200dcommunications with\u2064 his son regarding the defiance of a congressional subpoena. According to \u2062the letter, Hunter Biden had\u200b been subpoenaed to appear for a deposition on December 13, 2023, as part of\u200b the impeachment inquiry. Instead of complying with the \u200csubpoena, Hunter \u2063Biden chose to hold a press conference at the U.S. Capitol on the same day.<\/p>\n
White House Response and Suspicions:<\/p>\n
Following Hunter Biden’s\u2063 press conference, White House\u2063 Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that President \u2064Joe Biden was “certainly familiar with what his son \u200bwas going to say” when asked if he had watched the press conference. This statement raised suspicions that \u200bthe President had prior knowledge of Hunter \u2063Biden’s decision to defy the congressional \u200csubpoenas.<\/p>\n
Legal Implications:<\/p>\n
The letter from Comer and Jordan emphasized the need to\u2064 investigate\u2064 the President’s role in his son’s refusal to comply with the subpoenas. They cited two federal criminal statutes that President Biden may have violated – 18 U.S.C. \u00a7\u2064 1505, which criminalizes “Obstruction of Justice,” and 18 U.S.C. \u00a7 2(a), which establishes criminal liability for individuals who aid, abet, counsel, \u2063command, induce, or procure the commission of a crime.<\/p>\n
Request for Documents and Unlikely Compliance:<\/p>\n
Comer and Jordan requested access to any documents or communications between the Executive Office of the President \u200band \u2064Hunter Biden’s legal team regarding the deposition. However, it is highly unlikely that the White\u2062 House will comply with this request. If questioned,\u200b President\u2063 Biden will likely deny any involvement, just as he has previously\u2062 denied discussing Hunter Biden’s \u200bbusiness dealings.<\/p>\n
Conclusion:<\/p>\n
The investigation into Joe Biden’s alleged involvement \u2063in his son’s defiance of a congressional subpoena highlights the complexity\u200d of the political landscape. As Congress delves deeper into\u2064 the impeachment inquiry, it is essential to determine the legitimacy and extent of the President’s \u200brole in potentially obstructing \u200bjustice. The outcome of this investigation will undoubtedly impact the public’s\u2064 perception of both President Joe Biden and the ongoing political dynamics<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
